Brad's advice is very good. Along with "call the obvious", also, "avoid the ridiculous". Referee like you belong there. Do not be timid. We need young officials to step up. Don't expect for the veterans to call something just because they are veterans. Step up and make calls that have to be made. In fact, as veterans, we are trained to stay in our primary, so we will not come out of it to bail anyone out, unless of course it is 'assault'. Remember, you are not out there alone. As a crew, be consistent, see the same game, and SURVIVE!
Congrats on the game. Have fun. Respond on how it goes.
Good luck!
